Down on your knees

You'll be left behind

This is the beginning

Watch what you think

They can read your mind

This is the beginning



I got my mark, see it in my eyes

This is the beginning

Well, my reflection I don't recognize

This is the beginning

We think we've climbed so high

Up all the backs we've condemned

We face a consequence

This is the beginning of the end



You wait your turn

You'll be last in line

This is the beginning

Get out the way

Cause I'm getting mine

This is the beginning



God helps the ones

That can help themselves

This is the beginning

May be too late

As far as I can tell

This is the beginning

We think we've come so far

On all the lies we depend

We see no consequence

This is the beginning of the end
